Skywatch Friday
July 27th, 2012
Yesterday's skies in the Similkameen
After a beautiful quiet morning when I picked all the ripe raspberries and then went out for lunch - warning skies to the North
Large thunderheads in the West that resulted in great claps of thunder and a passing storm
The evening skies had a lovely glow and off to the North East the end of a faint rainbow
Bent across the sky almost directly above the town, it ended brilliantly half way up the Dragon's Toe
Eventually it brightened at the other end, but I was never able to get a complete picture as it arched across the valley.
In the West the skies caught fire and cast a most glorious light on the town
which eventually calmed down as dusk descended upon us.
I was thrilled, - we miss so many beautiful skies nestled here amongst the trees and houses in town.
For more great skies visit here at Skywatch Friday.
Beautiful skies, indeed! We had a storm roll through the Methow late yesterday afternoon that knocked out our power but did leave us with a double rainbow.
